2 months post split up and things are settling. It's not been particularly dramatic we decided to split. Exdh says he would have carried on but made no effort to resolve our problems or show he cares over the last two years of getting to this point.
We're both getting on ok and the dcs seem fine although will say they are sad about the split from time to time. The difficulties I'm having is that although we're ok I feel really let down by my family and friends. My close friends are fab the ones I had spoken to before but everyone else is very distant. I know it wasn't very nice that I hadn't spoken to them before the split to say things weren't good but I had to think of protecting the dcs and to be honest I knew there was nothing they could do. But now that it's all out in the open and we are living apart, I thought there'd have been more caring. They don't speak to me about how I am or what's happened just normal other stuff even though I bring it up. I'm finding it confusing and hurtful like I'm living in a different world.
Has anyone else had this reaction?
I went out with one friend the other night and despite me making different comments about my new life she never responded once or acknowledged anything about my split, I hadn't seen her since the split and knew she was shocked by it as another friend had told me. My Aunt was down visiting and I asked her round the other day, and she never once said anything beyond nice house, nice garden etc etc. And I'm close and respect her. It makes me feel quite out of this worldly if that makes sense and plays on my mind at night especially.
I'm not sure why it's bothering me. Exdh, dcs and me are ok. The empty nest bit when dcs aren't here is hard but I was expecting that. The friends and family bit is a hurt I wasn't expecting.
